Summary "商界現形記" by Tianzhuisheng is a novel written in the late 19th century.

The opening of the novel introduces Zhou Ziyan, also referred to as Zhou San, who is characterized as a notorious merchant engaged in a variety of businesses, primarily driven by profit. This portion sets the stage for his interactions with other characters, including his friend Wang Wenglin and a courtesan named Hei Mudan. The narrative unfolds in a lively manner as it describes Zhou's quest for a suitable company name while he grapples with the trivialities of life in the pleasure districts of Shanghai.
